I wanna know if MATRIX recipients know my IP, and more globally what the recipients know about me (how the matrix protocol works). THX

      Yes it is a problem for both public and private rooms as this info is stored and shared retroactively. Lets say one of the participants of a private room gets compromised or you invite someone that has their account on a compromised homeserver. This then results in the entire room meta-data history (since the room was created) being shared with that compromised homeserver which can then easily analyse it in detail.

        That doesn’t sound realisticly threatening to me. Besides, if I want the highest security and privacy I use onion routing.

          lol, why are you even posting on a privacy community then? And using Tor doesn’t help at all in that case.
